IJIT is a member of, and subscribes to the principles of, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (http://www.ukm.my/ijit/ethics-statement/). IJIT does not accept any type of Plagiarism -the use of any material and ideas developed or created by another person without acknowledging the original source. To avoid any form of plagiarism, each manuscript newly submitted to IJIT will be reviewed by the reviewers in the field and by using iThenticate. By submitting an article, authors are thereby asserting that their work is entirely original and that others’ work or text has been appropriately cited or attributed. The re-use of one’s own published work without appropriate citation (self-plagiarism) is also unethical.
